Plumbing the Depths of PPC Success: Cutting CPL in Half for a Local Plumber
Client Overview
A growing plumbing business was seeking help as their previous agency was not able to achieve the goals that the client had set out for himself, due to the nature of the business and focusing on more emergencies the current strategy in place was not producing the results he wanted. Due to fierce competition within the industry he was not able to achieve 1st page whenever his keywords were searched.
The Challenge
- The absence of a strong online footprint meant stiff competition with established local plumbers. On many different search terms that related to the industry, the client was not able to be found online.
- Low website trust signals (few testimonials, no accreditation badges). The website did not have conversion elements on the website compared to their competitors. Causing our client to lose business to other competitors.
